The Institute of Contemporary Arts is an artistic and cultural centre on The Mall in London, just off Trafalgar Square. Located within Nash House, part of Carlton House Terrace, near the Duke of York Steps and Admiralty Arch, the ICA contains galleries, a theatre, two cinemas, a bookshop and a bar. Stefan Kalmár became its director in 2016; the ICA was founded by Roland Penrose, Peter Watson, Herbert Read, Peter Gregory, Geoffrey Grigson and E. L. T. Mesens in 1947; the ICA's founders intended to establish a space where artists and scientists could debate ideas outside the traditional confines of the Royal Academy. The model for establishing the ICA was the earlier Leeds Arts Club, founded in 1903 by Alfred Orage, of which Herbert Read had been a leading member. Like the ICA, this too was a centre for multi-disciplinary debate, combined with avant-garde art exhibition and performances, within a framework that emphasised a radical social outlook; the first two exhibitions at the ICA, 40 Years of Modern Art and 40,000 Years of Modern Art, were organised by Penrose, reflected his interests in Cubism and African art, taking place in the basement of the Academy Cinema, 165 Oxford Street.

The Academy Cinema building included the Pavilion, a restaurant, the Marquee ballroom in the basement. With the acquisition of 17 Dover Street, Piccadilly, in May 1950, the ICA was able to expand considerably. Ewan Phillips served as the first director, it was the former residence of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson. The gallery and offices were refurbished by modernist architect Jane Drew assisted by Neil Morris and Eduardo Paolozzi. Paolozzi designed a metal and concrete table with student Terence Conran. Ewan Phillips left in 1951, Dorothy Morland was asked to take over temporarily, but stayed there as director for 18 years, until the move to the more spacious Nash House; the critic Reyner Banham acted as assistant Director during the early 1950s, followed by Lawrence Alloway during the mid- to 1950s. In its early years, the Institute organised exhibitions of modern art including Picasso and Jackson Pollock. A Georges Braque exhibition was held at the ICA in 1954, it launched Pop art, Op art, British Brutalist art and architecture.

The Independent Group met at the ICA in 1952–1962/63 and organised several exhibitions, including This Is Tomorrow. With the support of the Arts Council, the ICA moved to its current site at Nash House in 1968. For a period during the 1970s the Institute was known for its anarchic programme and administration. Norman Rosenthal director of exhibitions, was once assaulted by a group of people who were living in the upper floors of the building: a bloodstain on the wall of the administrative offices is preserved under glass, with a note reading "this is Normans's blood". Rosenthal claims the group. Bill McAllister was ICA Director from 1977 to 1990, when the Institute developed a system of separate departments specializing in visual art. A fourth department lectures. Iwona Blazwick was Director of Exhibitions from 1986 to 1993. Other notable curatorial and programming staff have included Lisa Appignanesi, James Lingwood, Michael Morris, Lois Keidan, Catherine Ugwu, MBE, Tim Highsted and Jens Hoffmann.

Mik Flood took over as director of the ICA in 1990 after McAllister's resignation. Flood announced that the Institute would have to leave its Mall location and move to a larger site, a plan that came to nothing, he oversaw a sponsorship scheme whereby the electrical goods company Toshiba paid to have their logo included on every piece of ICA publicity for three years, in effect changed the name of the ICA to ICA/Toshiba. He was replaced as Director in 1997 by Philip Dodd. In 2002, the ICA Chairman Ivan Massow criticised what he described as "concept art", leading to his resignation. Following the departure of Dodd, the ICA appointed Ekow Eshun as Artistic Director in 2005. Under Eshun's directorship the Live Arts Department was closed down in 2008, the charge for admission for non-members was abandoned, the Talks Department lost all its personnel, many commentators argued that the Institute suffered from a lack of direction. A large financial deficit led to resignations of key staff. Art critic JJ Charlesworth saw Eshun’s directorship as a direct cause of the ICA's ills.

Problems between staff and Eshun, sometimes supported by the Chairman of the ICA Board, Alan Yentob, led to fractious and difficult staff relations. Eshun resigned in August 2010, Yentob announced he would leave. In January 2011, the ICA appointed as its Executive Director Gregor Muir, who took up his post on 7 February 2011. Muir was replaced by former Artists Space director Stefan Kalmár. 1948: 40 Years of Modern Art, the ICA's first exhibition organised by Herbert Read and Roland Penrose.1948: 40,000 Years of Modern Art, the ICA's second exhibition organised by Herbert Read and Roland Penrose.1950: London-Paris: New Trends in Painting and Sculpture launched

Elmhurst High School was a public high school with a comprehensive intake and over 1,000 students. Elmhurst High School was a part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools school district, serving those living in the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne, it received accreditation from the Indiana Department of Education and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. On March 22, 2010, a vote was taken by the FWCS School Board to accept a recommendation of the FWCS administration regarding ways to reduce the 2010 district budget by $15 million; the administration's report included the step of closing Elmhurst High School. The budget moves were required because current economic conditions reduced federal and state funds available to the school district; the closing of Elmhurst has been a debated topic over the past several years, the Board, by a unanimous vote of 7-0, agreed to accept the administration's recommendation. With that action, the 2009/10 school year was the final year of operations for the school.

Returning students were reallocated to other high schools in the FWCS system. The mission of Elmhurst High School was to guarantee that all students were prepared to meet or exceed Indiana Standards by narrowing the achievement gap, by increasing the successful completion of advanced courses, by improving student achievement. Dating back to 1929, Elmhurst High School had nine principals, including three female principals. In 1979, Elmhurst High School underwent drastic renovations; the renovations were costly and took a long time to complete but when they were finished, Elmhurst was equipped with an auxiliary gym and 600 seat auditorium. The auditorium was designed to double as a movie theater, with the use of a 20'x20' retractable movie screen to be installed after the construction of the auditorium; the school has had a rich tradition of musicians. Annually, the school hosted an ISSMA Jazz Fest. Back in the era of jazz, there were many big names. Among them were: Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Maynard Ferguson, many others.

The school had many college bands perform there as well. Along the band room wall, you could see various posters dating back to when the tickets were on sale. Elmhurst's athletic department consisted of more than 20 IHSAA sports including the following for both boys and girls: cross-country, tennis, marching band and field, swim and dive and golf.
